AROMATICS
Boil the kettle. Place a pot over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter (optional). When hot, fry the carrot rounds and ½ the chopped onion until slightly softened and starting to brown, 2-3 minutes (shifting occasionally). Pour in 100ml of boiling water, cover with the lid, and simmer until the carrots are soft, 4-5 minutes.
GREEK SALAD
In a salad bowl, combine the cucumber & pepper pieces, the drained olives, the remaining onion (to taste), the balsamic vinegar, a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoning. Just before serving, toss through the shredded salad leaves. In a separate bowl, combine ½ the chopped dill with the crumbled feta.
PURÉE
When the carrots are soft, remove from the pot and place in a blender with any remaining water from the pot. Add a knob of butter and seasoning. Blend until a smooth purée, adding more boiling water if necessary. Cover and set aside.
FRY THE FISH
Pat the hake dry with paper towel and season. Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the fish, skin-side down, until the skin is crispy and golden, 3-5 minutes. Flip, add a knob of butter, and fry until cooked through, 2-3 minutes (constantly basting the fish with the butter). Remove from the pan.
FISH FEAST
Smear the carrot purée on the plate. Place the hake on top. Coat the fish in the dill & feta mix. Side with the fresh Greek-style salad and sprinkle over the remaining dill. Beautiful, Chef!
